Description
Why buy garlic cream sauce in a jar when it so easy to make and much more delicious when it's homemade? Serve it on your favorite pasta, casserole or even chicken.
Ingredients
2 T. butter
4 cloves garlic, grated
2 T. all-purpose flour
1 3/4 c. half and half, NOT fat-free (or whole milk but won't be as creamy)

In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; add garlic; cook 30 seconds or until fragrant, stirring constantly, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Stir in flour; cook 1 minute or until lightly golden, stirring constantly, cooking it just long enough so it doesn’t taste like raw flour.
Gradually whisk in half and half; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, whisking out any lumps. Simmer time depends on different things, one of which is the size of the pan. Cook just until thickened. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and parsley; remove from heat.
Serve immediately on favorite pasta or in other dishes.
